GaP as well as GaAs has face-centered cubic crystal phase at standard conditions. Despite it, GaP and GaAs nanowires frequently grow in a metastable hexagonal crystal phase called wurtzite. In this work, stable growth of nanowire in the metastable phase is explained by accounting the elastic strain in the nucleus of a new layer. Crystal phase switch in heterostructured Ga(As,P) nanowire caused by heterointerface was studied theoretically and experimentally. Length of wurtzite segment after the switch of crystal phase linearly increases with nanowire diameter. Such dependence can not be explained by only kinetically driven effects. We consider such dependence as an evidence of elastic strain stabilization of the metastable phase in nanowires.

Radiation from rotational transitions of CO molecules in distant galaxies creates a chaotic background with an intensity reaching 1000 Jy/sr at a wavelength of approximately 1 mm. This background will pose a serious problem, when measuring spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background, in particular, the mu-distortion, which presumably has an intensity of less than ...

This work presents a comprehensive investigation into the temperature-dependent thermally stimulated conductivity and photoconductivity of vacuum-annealed thin films based on core–shell CdSe/CdS nanoplatelets passivated with oleic acid ligands. Controlled thermal annealing under vacuum conditions leads to a substantial increase in both dark and photoinduced conductivity, which is primarily attributed to partial desorption of the ligands. ...
